Relative to the Death of Frank ]. Russell.

Frank j. Russell, who died OF pleurO-
pneumonia at 1926 Second avenue south,
on the 9th ult., and who was almost
wholly unknown here in Minneapolis,
proves to have been son of an excel
lent Catholic family, all or nearly all. Of
whom reside in Blue Earth county, this
State. Frank, who was the Youngest of
family of twelve children, came to this
city in the early winter and took up
studies at Archibald's commercial col
lege, where he made rapid strides until
March 1st., when he was taken i'll and
from which illness death ensued. At
the last meeting in February he became
a member of the Immaculate Concep-
ton Benevolent society of this city, but
owing to light attendance at that time,
few there were indeed who recognized
the name of Frank j. Russell as men,
Der of that organization which has done
so much valuable service in quiet way
during it's twelve years existence in our
midst. There were individuals, how
ever, who knew him as member, and
thus his wants were not entirely forgot
ten or overlooked. After death his re-
mains were taken to Mankato for inter-
ment, where, we are informed, some Of
his relatives reside. Mrs. M. Russell,
the respected mother of the deceased, is
resident of Ceresco, which is not far
from the city mentioned above. Mr..
Russell was about 10 years Of age at the
time of his demise. At regular meet
ing of Immaculate Conception Benevo-
lent society, held March Is, the society
ordered the following resolutions pub
lished as token of respect to his memory:
WHEREAS, Almighty God, in His infinite Wis
dom, has summoned to his eternal home our late
brother, Frank J. Russell, who died on the 9th day
of March in the 18th year of his age; and
WHEREAS, 1t is but right and proper that the
organization to which he was attached should
show it's appreciation of his kindly disposition
in becoming member of this society, knowing
full we'll, as we do, that his heart was with us in
the cause in which he was just about to engage;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the members of the I'm
macu]ate Conception Benevolent Society, sim
cerely mourn the loss of our brother, kindly in
nature and faithful in his friendship.
Resolved, That while bowling in humble sub
mission to the DEGREES of an all-wise Creator, our
hearts are filled with sorrow for he who has passed
away in his young manhood, almost unknown to
his brother members. and whom it would have
been our pleasure to honor and esteem.
Resolved, That this society tender its heartfelt
sympathy to his family in their affection, and
that COPY of these resolutions be forwarded to
the family of deceased and printed in THE IRISH
STANDARD of this city and the Northwestern
Chronicle of st. Paul.

Spectroscopic analysis has also shown
that the fixed stars are like the sun in
general constitution; but important spe.
ciiic differences are found, especially be-
tween those which shine with white and
those with red light. Aldebaran, for in
stance contains hydrogen, sodium, mag
nesium, iron, tellurium, calcium, bismuth,
antimony and mercury; but in Betelgeuse
hydrogen is wanting. Comets show diff
ferent elements, or in very different pro-
portions, in the nucleus and tail. The
stars have been divided into four great
classes, corresponding to these minor
variations of their substance; but
enough is proved to impress upon
us the sublime truth that all
the material universe is composed of
the same substances, all receivable into
the prime elements found on our earth.
The planets shine only by reflected light,
and so the spectroscope can prove only an
absorptive power in their atmosphere; but
it can hardly be doubted that they are of
one family with us, and that the sun is
the common parent of all. Mankind in
general are not yet alive to these wonder
full discoveries; but when, in the usual
course of such things, what is now mere
matter of scientific interest will be made
of vast practical use, men will place in

THE SPECTROSCOPE.
AND HOW IT WAS UTILIZED BY
GUSTAV ROBERT kIRCHHOFF.

Are Able to Determine the Component
Parts of the Sun and the Stars-Fraun-
hofer's Lines Popularity Explained.
The announcement of the death of the
renowned savant, Gustav Robert Kirch-
hoff, at Berlin, brings to the mind of all
lovers of knowledge a realizing sense of
the great work he did, for it is to this
man we owe most we know about the
constitStion of the sun and fixed stars.
Since KirchhOff made his first discoveries,
or rather since he perfected the processes
of discovery, science has laid open new
universe. We now know the ultimate
composition of light, the very substance
of the sun, the method of it's incandes-
cence, the very metals which float as
vapor in it's superheated envelope or boil
in its molten mass; and we know, too,
that the sun and the fixed stars are COM
posed of the same substances, though in
varying proportions, as those which form
our carIh-iron, nickel and cobalt, lithia
and calcium, oxygen and hydrogen.
